Whey Low: Whey cool, or whey out there?

Reduced-calorie sugar. Does it sound too good to be true? Manufacturers of Whey Low claim that's exactly what they've created. The alternative to traditional sugar is made from natural sugars -- sucrose, fructose, and lactose -- not artificial ingredients. The product's developer was inspired to create the alternative after his wive was diagnosed with diabetes. He claims that the product combines the three natural sugars in such a way that they aren't fully absorbed by the body. According the Whey Low website, the product has 75% fewer calories than table sugar.

The University of Maryland is currently testing the product to see if it holds up to the manufacturer's claims. If, as claimed, an interaction between the three ingredients causes the sucrose and lactose to pass unabsorbed into the large intestine, Whey Low could be a healthier addition to your grocery store shelves.

The all-natural wonder food: Honey

Honey has been around since the beginning of time, and with technology giving us so many artificial and chemical alternatives for everything from sweeteners to healing aids to beauty products it's easy to forget that something so simple and "old" has such an amazing list of benefits and properties. Good for everything from sweetening your tea to helping with insomnia, honey also has antibacterial properties and can sometimes even help with seasonal allergies.

This makes all the news lately about the honeybees struggling and disappearing especially distressing!
